CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Bolution to Previous Contract Problem

In my estimation, distribution plays more important part at Birnct than high cords. of

course, at slam contract 'sult con- trols are necessary to prevent the opponents from running.off win- ning tricks immediately.

But you can take a 'handful of high cards and, unless you have good distribution, you will find it dimeult even to make game..

An unusually interesting squeeze that developed out of good distri- bution is given in to-day's hand.

I bellove the bidding to be rather optimistic, especially North's two trump response. South was justified in jumping to four clubs after this bid, and again North was over optimistic In jumping to Blx clubs. However, the declarer played the hand well to make his contract.

West opened the jack of spades. which Esat won with tho

aco. East returned a small heart, which declarer won with the king. Tho declarer now ran six rounds of clubs, retaining in dummy

the three and deuce of spades, the ace and nine of hearts, and the age of diamonds.

It is immaterial what East re- tains, except, to protect the king of diamonds. West discarded a spade and three diamonds, East by his discards had shown) the king of diamonds.

Declarer now led the five of dia- monds and West was helpless. If he let go a heart, dummy's acc and nine would be good, while if he dropped_a spade. declarer would win the last three tricks
